Can my husband get prostate problems from anal sex with me?

[suspicious42]

My husband has a prostate infection and I believe I have chlamydia waiting for results. I have read that a male can get a prostate infection through an std such as chlamydia or gonnohrea.  I have been faithful but this is the second time in our marraige I will have had chlamydia as well as the second time he has had prostate.  I have read that chlamydia can be spread through the bacterioa from anal sex.  Of course we do not have sex vaginally after anal sex it is usually not for weeks later as we have been married 15 years.  I guess my question is if my husband has given me chlamydia is is possible it is from anal sex we could have had weeks ago or am I wishful thinking.  I do not know what to think?

Prostate problems aren't always from STDs.  They can be caused by many things, and he should be following up with his doctor for this.

Good luck!

thanks for the post.  I guess I was just hoping that he had contracted the bacteria from anal sex with me that could have caused the prostate problem.  I had read that the prostate infrection he has is due to an STD such as chlamydia which could be contract through vaginal or anal sex, but I guess that is only after you have gotten the STD.  I was hoping that because of the anal sex he had gotten the bacteria that way.  I guess I know better as the first bout of this was years ago and though I do not have my test results back againI I know enough about my body to know what is happening.  You are right I guess we have some things to work out!  Thank you again.

So the chlamydia infection was weeks ago, and you have been married for 15 years?

Chlamydia wouldn't be caused by anal sex, but can be transmitted by anal sex.

Chlamdydia isn't caused by any sexual positions - its caused by a bacteria that you can only get from sex.  The only way it could have been brought into your marriage is if someone stepped out of the marriage.

If you have chlamdyia again, then either your treatment didn't work, you had sex too soon after treatment, or someone had sex again with someone who is infected.

I'm sorry - it seems you have some things to work out.  :(
